Title: Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard Author: Tom Felton Narrator: Tom Felton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.61 of Total 64 Ratings of Narrator: 4.97 of Total 39 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the magical moments on set as Draco Malfoy to the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, get a backstage pass into Tom Felton’s life on and off the big screen in this #1 New York Times bestseller.   Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school.    Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience growing up as part of the wizarding world while also trying to navigate the muggle world. He tells stories from his early days in the business like his first acting gig where he was mistaken for fellow blonde child actor Macaulay Culkin and his Harry Potter audition where, in a very Draco-like move, he fudged how well he knew the books the series was based on (not at all). He reflects on his experiences working with cinematic greats such as Alan Rickman, Sir Michael Gambon, Dame Maggie Smith, and Ralph Fiennes (including that awkward Voldemort hug). And, perhaps most poignantly, he discusses the lasting relationships he made over that decade of filming, including with Emma Watson, who started out as a pesky nine-year-old whom he mocked for not knowing what a boom mic was but who soon grew into one of his dearest friends. Then, of course, there are the highs and lows of fame and navigating life after such a momentous and life-changing experience.   Now with a new chapter Felton delves into his experience of fame, Beyond the Wand is an entertaining, funny, and poignant must-read for any Harry Potter fan. Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.

Title: Little Voices: How Kids in Spirit Helped a Reluctant Medium Escape and Heal from Abuse Author: Kiersten Parsons Hathcock Narrator: Kiersten Parsons Hathcock Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Never in a million years did Kiersten Parsons Hathcock—a Shark Tank-winning entrepreneur with an internationally known furniture company—think she would suddenly start channeling children in spirit at the age of thirty-six. She never expected that, while she was helping them reveal the secrets of their deaths, they would help her see dark and painful secrets buried in her own psyche. As a skeptic and firm believer in science, Kiersten struggled with her newfound intuitive skills and the reason they were coming to light. She powered through fear to reach out to strangers and law enforcement with the messages she received. After receiving validation that what she was experiencing was real, helping families and law enforcement became a mission. It had to be—the kids were coming to her for help. One question remained: Why was this happening to her? And the answer was startling. The children were coming to help Kiersten as much as she was helping them. Before she could understand that, though, this happily married mother would have to stumble down a destructive path under a spell cast by a narcissistically abusive predator to learn to trust and use intuition to heal her childhood trauma—and escape a dangerous man she thought she loved. While Kiersten’s late-in-life mediumship ability is extraordinary, the wounds she’d buried that led her on a toxic path is a story many can relate to. Little Voices vividly inspires everyone to explore their own patterns, uncover their hidden pain, and trust their intuition in order to rise from the ashes.

Title: Dear Queer Self: An Experiment in Memoir Author: Jonathan Alexander Narrator: Donald Corren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: An unvarnished accounting of one man’s struggle toward sexual and emotional maturity In this unconventional memoir, Jonathan Alexander addresses wry and affecting missives to a conflicted younger self. Focusing on three years—1989, 1993, and 1996—Dear Queer Self follows the author through the homophobic heights of the AIDS epidemic, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of Bill Clinton, and the steady advancements in gay rights that followed. With humor and wit afforded by hindsight, Alexander relives his closeted college years, his experiments with his sexuality in graduate school, his first marriage to a woman, and his budding career as a college professor. As he moves from tortured self-denial to hard-won self-acceptance, the author confronts the deeply uncomfortable ways he is implicated in his own story. More than just a coming-out narrative, Dear Queer Self is both an intimate psychological exploration and a cultural examination—a meshing of inner and outer realities and a personal reckoning with how we sometimes torture the truth to make a life. It is also a love letter, an homage to a decade of rapid change, and a playlist of the sounds, sights, and feelings of a difficult, but ultimately transformative, time.

Throughout the tough moments, Brendan always had humour and a good story to tell alongside the ever-guiding inspiration of his own Mammy, a formidable figure who became Ireland's first female Labour MP, all whilst raising eleven children by herself. Just like the show so brilliantly expresses, Brendan's first autobiography, the real story behind the man who became Mrs Brown, combines uplifting heart, warmth and hilarity. © Brendan O'Carroll 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Title: Runaway: Notes on the Myths that Made Me Author: Erin Keane Narrator: Erin Keane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 13 minutes Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From Erin Keane, editor in chief at Salon, comes a touching memoir about the search for truths in the stories families tell. In 1970, Erin Keane’s mother ran away from home for the first time. She was thirteen years old. Over the next several years, and under two assumed identities, she hitchhiked her way across America, experiencing freedom, hardship, and tragedy. At fifteen, she met a man in New York City and married him. He was thirty-six. Through a deft balance of journalistic digging, cultural criticism, and poetic reimagining, Keane pieces together the true story of her mother’s teenage years, questioning almost everything she’s been told about her parents and their relationship. Along the way, she also considers how pop culture has kept similar narratives alive in her. At stake are some of the most profound questions we can ask ourselves: What’s true? What gets remembered? Who gets to tell the stories that make us who we are? Whether it’s talking about painful family history, #MeToo, Star Wars, true crime forensics, or The Gilmore Girls, Runaway is an unforgettable look at all the different ways the stories we tell—both personal and pop cultural—create us.

Title: Maybe We'll Make It Author: Margo Price Narrator: Margo Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.56 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 4 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Audiobook exclusive: original and never-before-released music from the author, Margo Price. When Margo Price was nineteen years old, she dropped out of college and moved to Nashville to become a musician. She busked on the street, played open mics, and even threw out her TV so that she would do nothing but write songs. She met Jeremy Ivey, a fellow musician who would become her closest collaborator and her husband. But after working on their craft for more than a decade, Price and Ivey had no label, no band, and plenty of heartache. Maybe We’ll Make It is a memoir of loss, motherhood, and the search for artistic freedom in the midst of the agony experienced by so many aspiring musicians: bad gigs and long tours, rejection and sexual harassment, too much drinking, and barely enough money to live on. Price, though, refused to break and turned her lowest moments into the classic country songs that eventually comprised the debut album that launched her career. In the authentic voice hailed by Pitchfork for tackling 'Steinbeck-sized issues with no-bullshit humility,' Price shares the stories that became songs and the small acts of love and camaraderie it takes to survive in a music industry that is often unkind to women. Now a Grammy-nominated “Best New Artist,” Price tells a love story of music, collaboration, and the struggle to build a career while trying to maintain her singular voice and style.
